It will be noticed that the average
number of eggs per hen per Year
ranges from three dozen to over seven
dozen and that those States which re-
ported the largest number of hens did
not make the most money because, as
the figures show, they only got an av-
erage of 4 to dozen eggs per hen per
year while the New England States
showed an average from to over Z
dozen. The question arises then why
do hens in the New England States
average more than seven dozen eggs
per year per hen, while in Louisiana
they only average three dozen The
reason must be found in the fact that
in the New England States Shcridan's
Powder to make hens lay is almost
universally used, while in the West
and South, it is not used much. Louis.
lana has not gone behind but the
Northern States have gone ahead
There is no doubt at all but what the
extensive use of Sheridan's Powder tc
Make Hens Lay, and for the improve.
ment of poulty, has boosted the poul
try industry more than all other in
fiuences put together. The poultry
industry of this country now amount;
to between five and six hundred mil
lions of dollars annually and the prof
its are said to be enormous. One mar
in Mass, near Boston, has made TWEEN
ty thousand dollars year for the las
five years and many more have from
five hundred to d thousand dollars
while thousands of women, children
and invalids have earned a comfort
able living. All who want to know
just how to make money, keeping an(
tending poultry should send TO l. S

Early last Sunday morning w. w.

ly made frantic effort TO get out by
trying to bite through the woodwork
of the frame door, and failing in this
leaped through one of the large panes
of glass in the show window. 1t is Il
matter of conjecture as to what caused
the dog to act in this manner, but it is
by some believed that an attempt was

JOHN Il. LINEHAN, 2. II.

Not very large audiences have thus
far greeted the Windsor Theater Co.,
caused chiefly by rainy weather each
night, but those who have attended
must have greatly enjoyed the per-
formances if their hearty expressions
of approval are any criterion. Where
there was so much of real merit, and
where every member of the company
showed such unmlstakable excellence,
it is out of place to individualize, be-
sides, space forbids. Since their last
visit here some changes have been
made in the personnel of the company
and the general verdict is that it is
now much better and stronger. The
company remains here the remainder
of this week, giving u change of bill
each night, and on Saturday after
noon at $50 o'clock there will be {
matinee for ladies and children, tC
which the admission price to all part
of the house is 10 cents. No reserved
seats. The little girl holding thu
